quit changing the question and give the guy his due for being right

He gets his due for showing those three teams made the playoffs (good job droid). But what about the Super Bowl winner?

Here is my point: The Ravens were #3 in the NFL for oldest starters. The Steelers were 5th.

Younger doesn't always mean better. It's more about age relative to performance and contract.

You can find old teams that win the SB (Ravens), and you can find young ones that win the SB. (The Cowboys were the youngest team in the NFL won their 1st SB in their run in the 1990s.) It's not as simple as that. But when you are an old team, you should at least consider trying to get younger as if not, you WILL eventually be too old to contend. Ravens pulled out a W because of a perfect storm of conditions: Ray announced this was his last ride and they got some key players back from injury and Flacco started playing his best football ever. That being said, it is unlikely that Balt will win another ring soon. Colbert has already come out and said it: When you go 12-4 and are winning or contending for SB, you are hesitant to make many personnel changes; but when you go 8-8 with an older team, it is time to make some moves.
